That was always the thing that drove me nuts when I first went veggie
... my friends assuming I was depriving myself of something because I
chose not to eat dead animals. But that's neither here nor there, I
feel far better (physically and emotionally) being veggie (and now
working on vegan).
Just my opinion ... for what it's worth.
